My apologies to you, SonofMacPhisto (Off-Topic)

"I'm sorry you're hurting. Can I help?"

For the record, this is what I did as a pastor. But I'm not a pastor anymore and yes, one of those reasons is the sheer quantity of empathy required for the job. I'm easily half Vulcan (yes, a joke, but still the simplest way to describe myself). People aren't really that interested in logic & reason even when they are in a good place. That, too, is part of the culture we are in.

No apologies needed, but thanks. Good analogy - I am very much Bones McCoy right now, boxing you about the ears for your green-blooded ways. ;)

As far as 2016 is concerned, my biggest grievance would too easily lead to bar rule violations (no politics or religion). All I'll say is 2016 was an impossible year for my politics.

Ron Glass hurts. A lot. I used to be Christian, and he (very brilliantly) played an example of religiosity I can still respect, if not agree with. At least there's still "Preacher" to keep me company.
